MAWP maximum allowable working pressure

The code stipulates that when multiple valves are used, only one of them needs to be set at the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). The additional valves can be set at up to 105% of the MAWP. For design purposes the maximum allowable working pressure is assumed to be the same as the design pressure. 

A 3,500-gal reaetor with styrene monomer undergoes adiabatie polymerization after being heated inadvertently to 70°C. The maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the reaetor is 5 bar absolute. Determine the relief vent diameter required. Assume a set pressure of 4.5 bara and a maximum pressure of 5.4 bara. Other data and physieal properties are given as follows [12] ... 

Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) The maximum allowed pressure at the top of the vessel in its normal operating position at the operating temperature specified for that pressure. 

Like all pressure vessels, the cylinder has a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP). The maximum allowable working pressure of the cylinder determines the setting of the relief valve that is downstream of the cylinder. The MAWP of the cylinder should be a minimum of 10% or 50 psi greater than its operating pressure. 

The design pressure for a vessel is called its Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP). In conversation this is sometimes referred to simply as the vessel s working pressure, The MAWP determines the setting of the relief valve and must be higher than the normal pressure of... 

Maximum allowable working pressure MAWP) Highest pressure to which the system can be subjected during operation. Thus, pressure is established by a relief device set pressure and must be less than or equal to the material strength limitations of equipment. This pressure e.stabli.sh-es piping class for fittings and pipe wall thickness requirements, both of which are discussed in Volume 1. 

Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) the maximum pressure pounds per square inch gauge permissible at the top of a completed vessel in its operating position for a specific designated temperature corresponding to the MAWP pressure. This pressure is calculated in accordance with the ASME code (Par. UG-98) [1] for all parts or elements of the vessel using closest next larger to calculated value nominal thickness (closest standard for steel... 

For a new installation, establish pressure vessel normal maximum operating pressure, and temperature, and then the safe increment above this for vessel design conditions and determine the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the new vessel. (Have qualified fabricator or designer establish this. See pretious discussion of topic.)... 

LP steam systems Operate below a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of 15 psig (29.7 psia), equivalent to 249.8 °F (121 °C)... 

Safety valves are matched to a boiler s particular maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), and a boiler failure may result if this pressure is greatly exceeded. Typically, boilers having more than 500 ft2 of surface area or exceeding more than 500 kW input are required to have two safety valves. 

Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), gauge... 

Maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) The maximum permissible gauge pressure of a vessel in its operating position at a designated temperature. The pressure is based on calculations for each element in a vessel, using nominal thickness exclusive of additional metal thickness allowed for corrosion. The MAWP is the basis for the upper limit of pressure setting of the safety relief devices that protect the vessel (see Section 3.6). 

An SRV is a safety device designed to protect a pressurized vessel or system during an overpressure event. An overpressure event refers to any condition which would cause pressure in a vessel or system to increase beyond the specified design pressure or maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) (Section 3.6). 

To identify blocked oudet scenarios, all maximum pressures of all inlet sources were compared to maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the equipment under consideration. In addition, the potential for heat input from the process to result in vaporization at MAWP was considered. 

Hoses built to United States standards have a four-to-one pressure design safety factor. This means that the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) must be one-fourth the hose s minimum burst pressure. This rating is generally specified at 72°F, and many users are unaware that, as the operating temperature increases, the hose assembly s MAWP decreases. [11]... 

An oxygen tank with a volume of 2.5 ft is kept in a room at 50°F. An engineer has used the ideal gas equation of state to determine that if the tank is first evacuated and then charged with 35.3 Ibm of pure oxygen, its rated maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) will be attained. Operation at pressures above this value is considered unsafe. 

The ASME BPV Code specifies that the minimum thickness shall he the greater value determined from equations 13.41 and 13.42. If these equations are rearranged and used to calculate the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for a vessel of a given thickness, then the maximum allowable working pressure is the lower value predicted by the two equations. 

In general, when you work with a pressurized hydrogen system, limit the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) to the parameters of the component with the lowest pressure rating in the system. MAWP is the maximum allowable working pressure at which a system is designed to operate safely. So, it makes sense to consider the MAWP to be the pressure limit on the lowest rated component in the system. If a system consists of two components, one rated at 150 psi and the other rated at 1500 psi, the MAWP for the system should be 150 psi. 

The ASME code formula for the thickness of a cylindrical shell is listed in UG-27, as t = PR/(SE — 0.6P)S In this formula, t is the minimum thickness of the shell (in.), P is the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) (psi), R is the internal radius of the vessel (in.), S is the allowable stress in the material listed in ASME Section II, and E is the weld joint efficiency. 

Vessels of forged or rolled steels and aluminum alloys, metals with reasonably high ductility, are stressed at the final inspection, and in reinspection tests, at a test pressure 1.3 times the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP), the tank shell is stressed up to 90% of the material strength, which is usually the yield strength...
